Throughput of a network (Which i presume is what you are referring to as speed) depends on 
latency, the application (e.g TCP/IP window sizes) and bandwidth (Maximum packets one can send across a link under ideal conditions)

The concepts form a lengthy explanation, but you cannot separate throughput and latency

Sohan, just to be sure that we are on the right page, here is the Wikipedia entry on Latency http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latency_(engineering)


Kioko, I genuinely fail to see how the generic Wikipedia entry on Latency relates to your question and am confused at your response.
If you feel I'm wrong I would appreciate a correction.  One is always looking to learn.
